    Study Notes

    Federal Government Preparedness

    • The Federal Government aligns resources to achieve the National Preparedness Goal through the Response Federal Interagency Operational Plan.
    • For non-Stafford Act incidents, the agency with primary legal authority activates coordinating structures.

    Community Lifelines

    • A community lifeline is essential for the continuous operation of critical government and business functions.
    • Core capabilities that span all seven Community Lifelines include planning, public information and warning, and operational coordination.

    Levels of Government in Disasters

    • Local government is often the first to respond and the last to leave a disaster site.
    • When incidents exceed local capacity, state government becomes the next level of response.

    National Preparedness Framework

    • The National Preparedness Goal sets the vision for nationwide preparedness and identifies critical capabilities.
    • The National Response Framework (NRF) serves as a comprehensive guide encompassing prevention, protection, response, recovery, and mitigation.

    Coordination and Communication

    • Facilitation of problem-solving and coordination of capabilities is vital for effective emergency response.
    • Operational Coordination spans all levels of government and is crucial for sharing timely communications during incidents.

    Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs)

    • Many organizations configure their Emergency Operations Centers using the Incident Command System (ICS) structure.
    • The principal operations center for the Department of Homeland Security is the National Operations Center (NOC).

    Response and Recovery

    • The NRF operates continuously and applies to all incident types, aiming to save lives and stabilize communities after emergencies.
    • The Recovery mission area specifically assists communities to recover effectively from disasters.

    Unified Command and Collaboration

    • Unified Command involves joint objectives and strategies, ensuring all agencies with jurisdiction collaborate effectively.
    • Effective partnerships engage all elements of the community during emergency management efforts.

    Additional Key Concepts

    • The relationship between the NRF and National Incident Management System (NIMS) is that both work together to streamline incident management.
    • The Tribal Assistance Coordination Group (TAC-G) acts as a federal resource for assisting tribes during emergencies.
    • Emergency Management Assistance Compacts (EMACs) allow states to request mutual aid and assistance during incidents.

    Core Capabilities

    • The core capabilities essential for managing crises include operational coordination and planning.
    • Key capabilities relating to public welfare include operational communications, which ensure effective information sharing among response teams.

    Lifelines and Support Functions

    • Community lifelines consist of critical services like food, water, shelter, and communication.
    • The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) plays a key role in identifying and reuniting missing children during disasters.

    Totality of Preparedness

    • Preparedness efforts involve community engagement, ensuring widespread information sharing and readiness among the public.
    • The standard operational framework, including levels of government and community involvement, is crucial for effective disaster response.### Physical Protective Measures
    • Definition: Physical protective measures encompass strategies to safeguard individuals and property from potential threats or harm, often involving physical barriers or controls.

    Emergency Support Functions (ESFs)

    • ESFs serve as a coordinated mechanism for emergency response, not limited to federal or state levels.
    • Correct understanding: they are not exclusively a federal coordinating mechanism; they involve multiple levels of government.

    National Response Framework Premise

    • A core premise is that most incidents start and finish locally, managed effectively at the local or tribal level.
    • The framework emphasizes that response partners often self-dispatch to incidents, driven by a readiness to act.

    National Response Framework Objectives

    • The Framework provides guidance meant for the entire community, not just governmental entities.
    • It is not solely activated during catastrophic incidents; it can be applied to smaller emergencies where local resources may suffice.
    • The Framework encourages private sector entities responsible for critical infrastructure to develop and practice contingency plans.
